      I only read volume 1 and thought it was very good. However I am going to wait until the mangs concludes before I read the rest of the series. I prefer to read finished manga over ongoing.

      honestly a 9.5/10 manga for me it does almost everything right. Art, storytelling, pacing, character designs, power system. its all great
      gachiakuta is my personal favourite manga rn. I've been following it for a decent amount of time and i think the anime adaptation (if handled correctly) will make the series pop off.

    I agree with this. As much as I love a lot of other battle shonens a little more, such as make the exorcist fall in love & dandadan, i still think gachiakuta has more potential to be the hit big among shonen fans. Like it has everything needed to succeed
    - amazing and distinct artstyle
    - interesting worldbuilding and powersystem
    - well thought out plot
    - cool characters and sick designs marketable for merch and cosplays
    - story that feels open to a larger demographic ( from 13 to adulthood)
    All it requires is for studio bones to give it an amazing adaptation, and the rest is history. I really hope it actually succeeds

    @Grayson-Winchester 4 місяці тому +63

    Feels good to be wrong, huh?😅
    Studio bones can’t make Gachiakuta in broad daylight like MHA was constantly because it has a very dark tone.
    It literally starts with the protagonist falling into darkness. In addition to all the trash, the poverty and brutal society beneath.

    • @ShonenOuji
      @ShonenOuji  4 місяці тому +17

      Despite what people may say, I'm genuinely happy to say I was wrong. I gained a bit of a rep as a hater of the series, but like I said before, I've always wanted this series to do well. With time, I've only become more interested in the manga and I can't wait to see how it grows.

    • @professorspectre5425
      @professorspectre5425 4 місяці тому +5

      Contrary to popular belief, most studios generally have little to do with what an anime looks like or its overall quality but rather its director and staff and overall scheduling being why certain anime look better than others. It's why not every Mappa anime looks like Jujutsu Kaisen.

    • @Grayson-Winchester
      @Grayson-Winchester 4 місяці тому

      ⁠@@professorspectre5425yeah I know but it was rather frustrating to see my villain academia and paranormal liberation war in broad daylight as it were rather dark, dangerous and threatening story segments. MHA is of course in its core a rather happy go lucky series. Since it’s centered around high schoolers.
      Gachiakuta is a darker, dirty and gritty series in its core. The characters rarely smile and most of the time are fighting for their survival. The protagonist can only cherish the little things in his life and is not afraid to show his dark side.

    Aye man, I think you should definitely check your Galaxias. It’s only 5 chapters right now, but it has lots of potential. The art is great, the power system is interesting, the world seems very fun and interesting and I think definitely gives off One Piece and Fairy Tail vibes. The two main characters I’d even say have a similar dynamic to Natsu and Lucy, but less whacky lol

  • @partyjams
    @partyjams 4 місяці тому +10

    well well how the turn tables (tl;dr at the bottom)
    Jokes aside it great to see you come around and acknowledge mistakes you made it previous videos. Hope this doesn't come across as rude or mean spirited, but it would be great to see you looking back at old videos and correcting or updating your thoughts on it. I'm sure most you'd stand behind but at the very least you probably have more than few you have new thoughts on.
    Anyway that aside it makes sense you didn't quite get the hype if you hadn't experienced Okubo's work before. I'm sure much like his works, this series will get more popular once an anime is out. Cause a slow burn series in manga format is a lot to invest in but an adaption tend to speed things up. Additionally, as most of us are used to WSJ series that need to appeal asap to survive, it's also not common to see battle shonen take it's time like this.
    Now I do want to give you some credit that Gachiakuta was pretty average early on with it's artsyle being the most distinguishing thing. It wasn't until dealing with the vandals & Amo that we went above average. It's probably not until the most recent chapters that it's massive potential is plain to see. So hopefully not the fanbase is understanding of where you were coming from. It was easier for us to see the vision is all.
    tl;dr Hope we get more of these "why I was wrong"/"what I now think about" video as it would be nice to see. Make sense that exposure to Okubo (and the research you did for other series in WSM) changed your perspective. However I do understand why your first impressions weren't strong. Also love to see the shoutout to Domo senpai's video. He's another creator I really enjoy & definitely the most dedicated Gachi fan

      Thank you! And yeah that's a great idea. I generally acknowledge that sort of thing as side comments within video discussions, but I wanted to do this one because my perspective had changed so much and so many people felt this way. If that ever happens again like it did with the original video, I'll be the first one to start coming up with a response.

    Getting an anime adaptation doesn't mean it's actually good, there is a reason why isekai, harem and wish-fulfillment are at the top of the market but they get replaced by something else once a week, everything is getting an animation in an attempt to revitalize a good show, something to really last, something people latch on and don't let go
    Bleach wouldn't be as popular as it was, if it were released today
    MHA would be in shambles if it would start this year
    Hell, if JJK followed Bleach's formula from back in the day the fan base would be one guy in the corner yelling Bankai to himself
    People are waiting for something good even it has plot holes, shallow characters, the worst fan service known to man or no world building they'll take it and praise it to gods
    Everyone's so hungry for something good that they would take sub-par and eat it up, just because it has one tiny single thing good about it.
    Some mangakas have god-like artistic styles, so good you'll forget about the MC being the worst thing about their story or all of a sudden flips their personality 180 and the whole story makes -100% less sense, abuse sexualization and treating women like objects treated like a gag slapping "culture" on it and calling TOP anime to watch this winter
